mixing saltwater

[Swamp Donkey]

Anyone else have smaller house that limits how much water you can make? I have nowhere to store large quantities. I'm looking for ideas on what others do.

How much water do you want to store? I just use a rubbermaid 30 gallon garbage can. You can buy all kinds of shapes and sizes when it comes to plastic containers..

How big is your tank? If it's a nano, you can store all you need in a 5 gal bucket with a little heater and pump in it. That's all I use for my 40 gal.

Sometimes you just have to keep it in a place where it looks ugly. And sometimes you have to make that ugly place pretty (you can glue rhinestones and use glitter glue on those rubbermaid trash cans to class 'em up). How much water are we talking about?

Turns out my cat was peeing in the RO/DI water...

But five gallon buckets stacked in a closet work too.

I have a 75 gallon and a 30 gallon. I mix up 5 to 10 gallons at a time an leave them in my kitchen. It looks so damn ugly though.

Do you have any old salt buckets that you can store in in a less conspicuous place?

+1 on the laundry room. I even installed a shelf to store al my supplements on. My wife quickly took that over and gave me a little rubermaid 3 drawer thing to keep all that crap in.
